Bring lawn chairs, grab a bite to eat at the food trucks and enjoy a FREE live Shakespeare theatre performance of Othello by Points North Theatre Company and The Woodlands Jazz Orchestra. Open to audiences of all ages!
Arts in the Park presents Shakespeare in the Park with pre-show music by The Woodlands Jazz Orchestra at 5:30 p.m., followed by a live Shakespeare theatre performance of Othello, by Points North Theatre Company, beginning at 6 p.m.
In the aftermath of the Great War a hundred years ago, a high-stakes racial game of life and death is waged as African native Othello - the lauded general newly returned from battle - is manipulated into betrayal and murder of his wife Desdemona by the whisperings of his subordinate, Iago, who is consumed with jealousy at the Black man's successes.
More than 400 years ago, Shakespeare wrote of the horrible power of schisms between races. Today, Points North Theatre Company presents this tragic tale to entertain and enlighten audiences of all ages.
